I have constantly had problems with the airbag light going on & off for simply no reason driving the road. Also the windshield sensor light keeps going off making it unsafe to drive at night. I am am a senior citizen & I have to work and I keep going back & forth with my mechanic paying extensive checks on top of getting the problem resolved. I don't have money like that. I live along surviving off of one income.

My car was parked in front of my house on street. I found rear hatch glass shattered from the inside. There was glass several feet away from car on road. There are no rocks etc. inside or outside of car. This is the second time this has happened. The first time was June 2021 at an event I was attending. Same thing, glass exploded everywhere. We assumed it was due to the heat (it was in the high 80's that day). The flying glass could have hurt someone nearby. The technician who looked at the car could not explain how it happened.

When putting the driver side sun visitor down at first it would just make a clicking sound. Then one day would not go all the way back up. When I checked , above the mirror on right hand side by the arm, the white plastic trim for the visor is broken so the visor is just kind of hanging. Somewhat blocks vision.

Sunroof exploded 5am in the morning on highway 405 traveling to redmond wa., I was not near any underpasses, or bridges. The window sound made a loud bomb noise and them I heard glass breaking. It was going to rain the rest of the day so I took black duct tape and taped the glass so that the integrity of the glass would hold and not continue to shatter and it would not destroy my head liner.

The sun visor broke while attempting to lower it into position while driving. The plastic parts that surround the arm inside of the visor broke. The sound and movement of the broken visor caused me a moment of startled, distracted driving until I could pull over and try to deal with it. The visor will not stay up or down. It hangs in my line of vision and creates a driving hazard. It also hangs too close to my head and creates a physical hazard. I bumped my head on it yesterday while at the drive-through pharmacy. The owner's manual states that a warning (with an exclamation point inside a triangle in a yellow box) indicates that a condition may result in harm, serious bodily injury or death if the warning is ignored. There is a warning on page 4-94 of the owner's manual that states, "warning for your safety, do not obstruct your vision when using the sunvisor." hyundai knows that obstructing one's vision with the sunvisor may result in harm, serious bodily injury or death. Hyundai knows that this is a recurring problem with this vehicle and several other vehicles, as they have issued technical service bulletins in the past (08-01-029, hyundai recall campaign t64) for the same issue. Hyundai knows that this continues to be a problem for several elantra, santa fe, accent, sonata, and other owners.

This seems to be a manufacturing defect and should be covered under warranty and/or extended warranty.
